Wicked London pop up: Soho to transform into Emerald city

Wicked fans will be able to step into the OZ capital next month in London just as the highly anticipated film hits cinemas thanks to a new themed pop up event. 

In partnership with popcorn brand Butterkist, the Wicked movie is set to host a magical two-day pop-up in London’s Soho district.

As part of the event a special Popcorn Emporium will open to fans which has been made to look as if it were in the heart of the Emerald City.

Inside you’ll be able to snag a free pack of the new Limited-Edition Butterkist Amazafying Sweet Popcorn which you’ll be able to top with an array of sweet and savoury goodies at a popcorn counter.

You’ll also have a chance to discover their Wicked side and capture unforgettable moments with Elphaba and Glinda in the interactive photo booth.

The pop up which will be based on Bateman Street in Soho will be open on November 21 from 10am to 6pm and November 22 from 10am to 2pm.

Soho is not the only spot in London that will be transformed into the Emerald City to celebrate the movie.

As part of a global tour named the Journey Through Oz Tour, Southbank’s Royal Festival Hall will also be transformed into the Oz Emerald City fit with gilded architecture and thrilling sights.

Elphaba and Glinda actresses Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande revealed they would be heading to London as part of the worldwide tour earlier this month. 

Address: 15 Bateman Street, Soho, W1
